Dronningen is an Italian singer-songwriter and guitarist who has made London her home since 2011. Her sound is a captivating fusion of fuzzy electro-rock, featuring catchy guitar riffs, punchy rhythms, and anthemic choruses that linger long after the last note fades.

After captivating audiences across the UK, Sweden, France, Italy, and India with various lineups, Dronningen is back as a solo artist, ready to unveil a collection of new singles that promise to be irresistibly addictive and reveal a fresh chapter in her artistic journey.

The name Dronningen, meaning "the queen" in Norwegian, reflects Beatrice's philosophy of living life as an active protagonist rather than a passive spectator—an empowering reminder that we only live once.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of artists, including Juliette & The Licks, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Bones UK, Dronningen’s music combines infectious energy with a distinctive edge, inviting listeners to join her on a bold sonic adventure.

Pretty Pistol is a loud 4-piece garage punk band born in South London.

After a chance encounter at a Hole gig in Birmingham back in 2010 - plus several drinks and a trashed hotel room - singer Laura Le Rox and drummer Emma Waller met up in Camden’s finest public toilet-turned-rehearsal room five years later to form Pretty Pistol with guitarist Billy Larsen and bassist Rich Cooper.

Combining melds of furious shouts, frenzied riffs and pummelling drums, resulting in a marshalled chaos somewhere between Gallows, Be Your Own Pet and The Kills. The band is an unignorable presence on the London circuit supporting the likes of Penetration, KidBrother, Drones and Crazytown, to headlining and selling out London venues Birthdays and The Black Heart, which lead to them being picked as Team Rock's Band Of The Week in Feb 2018

The band's new EP ‘Welcome To The Dead Club’ will be released on 13th April 2018, recorded with renowned rock producer John Mitchell (Architects, Enter Shikari, You Me At Six) and features the singles ‘Cry Wolf’ and ‘Drive Me To The Dogs’.
